I already mentioned that this laptop primarily makes sense on a spacious desk, and I’ll reiterate that here. This design also makes the laptop rather impractical on the lap or on the go, something I’ve discussed at length in my previous ZenBook Pro Duo review. That’s OK as long as you keep the laptop on a desk, although not ideal since you will have to place it further away from you to place your hands over this down-shifted keyboard conveniently. Ok, with these out of the way, this whole dual-screen design pushes the keyboard on the front side of the laptop and the clickpad to the side. If there’s enough interest, I’ll cover the differences in a separate article, so let me know in the comments section down below. I should also add that while both ZenBook Pro Duo and the ROG Zephyrus Duo implement a similar tilting secondary screen and form-factor, they are actually internally different in a couple of ways, and that’s why the ROG Zephyrus bundles higher power hardware and a different thermal design. This also means that the ZenBook Pro Duo is one of the very few modern ZenBooks that don’t expel the hot air into the main screen, something that bothers me on most of the other Asus models. ![]() This way, the cooling draws in fresh air from both the top and the bottom and then pushes it out through the side vents. This means that the laptop’s main body raises on rubber feet placed at the bottom of the screen, leading to a slightly inclined typing positioned and extra airflow underneath, helping with the cooling. Design and constructionĭesign and build-wise, this ZenBook Pro Duo consistently follows the lines of existing ZenBook laptops, and that translates into solid build quality and what Asus calls the Ergolift design. Here are my thoughts on the more compact 2023 ZenBook Pro Duo 14 series and the more powerful 16-inch 2023 Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 lineup.

Specs aside, the two screens are the main selling point of this product, with the main display being OLED and touch, and the second display being IPS and touch, both with pretty good panels.Īt the same time, if you’ve read my past articles on these dual-screen Asus notebooks, I still consider that the form-factor compromises on practicality and portability to integrate those two displays, so if those are not a must for you, you’ll be better of with a standard design. Nonetheless, this is the ZenBook Pro Duo configuration that you can get these days and the one we got here. The delay means that the retail units are merely 10th gen Core i9 configurations paired with an RTX 3070 dGPU, although 11th gen Intel hardware is already available in the meantime. This has been announced at the beginning of 2021 at CES, but hasn’t shipped till now, and we only got to spend time with it at this point in early June 2021.
